Doing The Work

 Prepping for our tour doesn’t happen in days. It happens over the weeks and month before. You put in base miles with some rides during the week of 1-2 hours. On weekends, we slowly stretch the distance in a single ride. 40 becomes 60. 60 goes to 70 or 80. Then you get to 100.


You do these things so it doesn’t hurt as much. There is less risk to your body when it’s conditioned.

We do it so we are ready to meet the challenge we have set for ourselves as our commit to fighting epilepsy.

Here’s some pictures from recent rides. And as always, LINK TO DONATIONS SITE

New Jerseys: Raise One For Anne 2020

For this year we're going to do one long/very long ride each month from May - September. We'll release the ride calendar later. Today, we're offering you an opportunity to make a small donation and buy a sweet new cycling jersey to support our cause! These jerseys will be made by Owayo. We've used this company in the past and the product quality is great. Nice fit, a bit on the snug side so choose your size wisely, and excellent finish. The women's jersey will be a 3/4 zip(in line with Lisa's preference) and the men's a full zip. Your cost will be $100 plus shipping. Any difference between my cost will be donated to The Epilepsy Foundation's SUDEP Institute. I will absorb all shipping costs from the manufacturer to me. Delivery time from Owayo is 4-6 weeks.
